Hard chrome finish Precision needle bearings Lightweight aluminum construction Fine, grippy knurl Dual IPF / IWF knurl markings 2.2kg weight 20kg load rating The 360 Strength PRO Olympic 2.2kg Technique Barbell is a lightweight Olympic bar designed for learning and refining lifting technique without the weight of a full-size barbell. Manufactured from aluminum and weighing just 2.2kg, it is well suited to young athletes, beginners and experienced lifters practicing movement patterns with minimal load. Its compact 1220mm length, 22mm shaft and 50mm Olympic sleeves provide the feel and handling of a full-size Olympic bar while keeping the starting weight low, making it particularly useful for developing technique before progressing to heavier barbells. Features Aluminum construction provides a lightweight yet durable platform for technique training. By closely replicating the dimensions and handling characteristics of a full-size Olympic bar while weighing only 2.2kg, it allows lifters to develop bar path, positioning and coordination before progressing. A hard chrome finish provides a durable plated surface designed to resist everyday wear and corrosion. The black and silver finish also gives the technique bar an appearance consistent with the broader 360 Strength PRO barbell range. The 22mm shaft uses fine, grippy knurling to provide a secure hand position without an unnecessarily aggressive surface. Dual IPF / IWF knurl markings provide reference points for consistent hand placement during weightlifting technique work, while the bar is manufactured without a centre knurl. The 50mm Olympic sleeves rotate on bearings, allowing compatible Olympic weight plates to move independently of the shaft. This provides smoother sleeve movement when practicing cleans, snatches, presses and other exercises where the bar rotates through the hands. Each sleeve measures 104mm in length and accepts compatible 50mm Olympic weight plates. The bar is rated to 20kg, providing enough capacity for progressive technique work while remaining clearly differentiated from a full-size strength training barbell. This bar is intended for technique training rather than heavy lifting. It should not be dropped when loaded and should not be used beyond its published 20kg load rating. Technique Training Applications The PRO Olympic 2.2kg Technique Barbell is designed for practicing lifting mechanics with a low starting weight.
